Does anyone remember this toy from the 80s/90s?

I’ve been helping DD with her Christmas ideas this evening, she’s at such an awkward age where she thinks she’s too old for toys but is too young for grown up stuff.

She’s quite creative and I had a thought back to a creative kit I had back in the 80s/90s where you set little coloured pegs into a grid and once you’d completed the pattern you could flick a switch and it would light up!

Did I dream this? Is it a thing? I think she’d really like it... help Confused

Oh oh that’s it! Amazing, how come they don’t make a more up to date version Sad

I know what you mean, it was called lite brite.
I don’t know if you can’t still buy it but the questionable spelling always stuck in my head.

Interested in this thread?

Wow I’d completely forgotten about that game! I had one and I absolutely loved it. Seeing a picture of it on google has brought a tear to my eye,what a lovely trip down memory lane-thanks OP and the posters who knew what it was!

Spelling also drove me mad, even as a child Grin

I just look it up on camelcamwl and accidentally went to the us site and it's only $11 plus $ shipping - quite a bit cheaper than uk.

Toomanycats99 · 07/11/2018 20:49

$8 shipping that should say.
